This is simply a parking lot behind the Elks lodge and is for Elks members and their guests only. Since rvers have gotten the impression that it is an rv park for the public, there is now a volunteer host to sort things out. For Elks members there are a few large, level parking slots with 50 amp service and on the night we were there, a wednesday, dinner was available in the lodge. - mrosie

This is our second stay here after visiting almost exactly two years ago. No significant changes noted. Nothing fancy... just a safe place to spend the night with electric and water hookups (dump station on site).

We use cellular internet and found AT&T's LTE signal was surprisingly weak during this visit. Verizon's LTE signal was slightly stronger, but we found both AT&T and Verizon data speeds to be very slow.

There were maybe a dozen rigs here during our visit but plenty of spaces were left. There's a moderate amount of nearby road noise during the day and evening, but it died off during the night. - Gyropilot

Not much to add to the other reviews except that the park receives very little maintenance. The blacktop is starting to disintegrate and could use a good sweeping. The hook-ups are overgrown with limbs. There were only a small number of rigs [4] in the lot. Back-up as far as you can because the hook-ups are way in the back of the site. Reservations are not accepted or needed. I will stay here again because it is only a few blocks to the Visalia Country Club - a nice course with a great clubhouse. - bradydane2009

Reviews of Country Manor Mobile Home Community (55+ Park)

Nice park. Was a "mobile home" park but is transitioning to an RV park. Many full timers. Quiet, nice place. Air quality in Visalia is ranked among the worst in USA! - Captain Gort

A 55+ mobile home park with a few 'overnight' spots. Attendant very friendly. Sight was big enough but concrete slab was in bad shape. In town on a rather busy street but okay for one night. - OBZRV2

Not a resort but a perfect place for a short stay. Is an older mobile home park with a few RV spots to the left of the office. The park was able a provide a spot to accommodate our 43 ft and tow vehicle. No complaints about water, electricity or sewer. A bit noisy as we were quite close to I fairly busy road, but it worked out well for us. Office staff were nice. - Susan M

We stayed 13 nights in a fifth wheel with a focus on visiting Sequoia and Kings Canyon NPs. Note that my low rating on the actual site was because it was very off-level which prevented good drain on waste hose and because overhanging olive and pine trees prevented me from raising both Satellite and on-air antennas. This did not seem to be the norm for other sites. They offered to move us but we could not find a site that would work for the period of time we were there. Office staff nice. This is a beautiful area in the middle of citrus, olive, and nut groves. Harvest celebrations are late October. Very convenient to Sequoia and about a 50 minute slog through windy roads to Kings Canyon. You can go through Sequoia to get to KC or take the Dry Creek Rd from 216 just west of 190. Narrow winding roads that are much more enjoyable during the day time than at night for driving to and through the national parks. We found fresh figs and fresh ripe limes on the bush and harvested a few. Pool was closed. Note that October is late in the season and the National Park are shutting down campgrounds, services, facilities in preparation for the winter. - Moe and Flo are on the go

Small, rustic park with a mix of 30/50 amp FHU back-in/pull through sites and 5 RV sites with no hookups on one side of the park and tent camping sites on the other. Interior roads are gravel and easy to navigate, although trees could use a good trimming. Sites have decent separation, are gravel and wide but vary in levelness, so you may need leveling blocks. The park is very dusty and dry, and the only areas with green grass are the dog park and office area. Nice pool on opposite side of the park. Bathrooms were older and reasonably clean, with 3 toilets and 3 showers per gender. Laundry area on site with 3 washers and dryers (1 out of order during our stay). Office area is decent with small selection of gifts, snacks, ice and RV supplies. The office, laundry and bathrooms are located on a hill which may pose a problem for those that cannot navigate stairs or an incline. There is a port-a-potty in the RV section however. I agree with previous reviewer's posts regarding electrical issues, as six sites including our own (we were in site 10) lost power on Sunday. Maintenance reset the main breaker within 30 minutes, but voltage was low (113 volts in our rig). However, we had no issues before or after this incident and we were there a whole week. Staff were friendly and helpful. Park was very quiet during our stay even over Labor Day weekend and the park was nearly full. No cable available and we were only able to pull in 8 OTA channels. Good Verizon service. Free wifi provided but we didn't use. Park does not enforce their rule about dogs being on a leash. Daily rate is with Good Sam discount, but still expensive for what you get. Overall, a good park to use as a base for exploring Sequoia National Park. - RVIN 24-7

No cable! I called the campground every day for a week to make a reservation. Never got to speak to a live person, always got answer machine. I left messages twice with my phone number, never got a call back. Lot's of permanents. WiFi was so slow outside of campground office that it wouldn't open any web pages. AT&T 2 bars , but did get LTE, so was able to use my Hotspot to use computer. - JeffK

THIS IS AN OLDER PARK THAT HAS SEEN BETTER DAYS. BLACKTOP AND GRAVEL ROADS MAKE FOR LOTS OF DUST. Not much privacy between spaces but not cramped. Trees but dried grass in summer. Not really a well maintained facility. NICE PET AREA. Cabins and tent sites. LOCATED IN HOUSING AREA AND OPEN FIELDS. Easy access to freeway. NO CONVENIENCES IN IMMEDIATE AREA. Great for one night. SOME LONG TERM CAMPERS. Road noise during normal commute hours. HOOKUPS ARE OLD AND NEED UPDATING BUT SERVE PURPOSE. Might be tough for big rigs to navigate through park due to tight turns and narrow lanes. - socalretiree

Lots of semi-permanent trailers. Ww were reluctant to leave bikes outside while away. The site was clean and neat with some trees. The tree at the entrance needs trimming as it hangs down too low. DISH good, WIFI good, TMobile good. - wcaritj

We stopped here on our way up to Yosemite National Park for one night. We had a pull thru site, which was level, clean and shaded. They offer a lot of amenities that we used, including a pool and rec room with a pool table, air hockey, ping pong and cable tv. It needs a little love, but our kiddos didn't care. They also have a fitness room (a bit outdated) and a few older video games ;-). Overall, it was a great spot to stop for the night, especially for the value. It was very easy to access, just a mile or so off of the freeway. - SDTrailerFam

Well the power is good. Nice level spots with concrete pads. Water pressure is low. Nice grass on some spots. Really a nice place to stay except for the fact >>> if you are over 35' beware. Hard to get into the pull thru sites and are not long enough for my 43' rv. Had to unhook and back into a pull thru. Yes trains are present. Roads are narrow. I was told big rig friendly NO WAY. Will not stop here again. - neilontheroad

This was a nice spot for a few days. I "reserved" a site through email, but upon arrival my spot had not been reserved. Best to call, thankfully they had plenty of space and we were able to stay. It is a nice quiet park, there are trains that run throughout the day with their horns blowing, but it didn't bother us. The laundry was great, the restrooms were clean, the kids had fun in the pool although not always the cleanest. Our spot (#3) was level and provided some shade, most sites did not have shade. There are a few pull-thru sites with the rest being back in. The sites are fairly close together with full hookups and very good free wifi. Verizon and AT&T were also very good. We would stay here again. - wyonat

Not a lot of shade in this park. We did have a pull thru that was a little awkward to get into. Other reviewers mentioned the train noise. Yes, there are trains, but if you use your AC and earplugs, it's not a problem - Go often

Small, campground north of Visalia, with predominantly permanent residents. Only 30 amp service and our 32 foot motorhome with tow barely fit into one of their pull through sites. Could not connect sewer hose because of small pull through size. Located right next to Hwy 99 so expect alot of road noise. Facilities are primitive and in disrepair. Pass on this one and head north to the next major town. - Happy G

Well not stay here ever! The park is filled with out of date registration RVs some have 1996 tags. Not one friendly camper said hi. This park could be nice if cleaned out. It would take many tow trucks to move the broken down RVs. - titanium

Stayed in a 38 foot Class A RV. This campground is really not designed for large coaches. The grade coming into the campground was around 8% and tight turns to get to our site. There is a clean dump station area but we felt too hard for us to use as it is at top of hill but due to our length we were apprehensive to safely get in and out. Very clean and beautiful area in March. Hot shower in Women's side but Men's side had no hot water. - Scooterd16

We took a road trip this summer for our family vacation and left the camper behind, opting for tents in the mountain air. We loved the Sequoia Forest and cannot wait to return soon. The bear boxes kept food safe and we enjoyed so many day hikes up to the surrounding lakes - absolutely stunning. - PeachyCreative

Absolutely lovely campground, great lake views. Crowded at weekends - can be hard to find a good site. Some sites sloping. Operated by U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. It can be reserved through ReserveAmerica. - IanS

Great, friendly staff. Typical RV park layout: close sites, but adequate for larger motorhomes. Mostly gravel in good condition. Site was level. Areas were clean. Utility hookups in decent shape. Cable TV only has a few channels, some had degraded quality. No WiFi, but ATT cellular hotspot on phone works OK. We stayed here because large motorhomes (>22ft) are not allowed in much of Sequoia park. Drove our towable into the park.) Would definitely come again. We were here out of season, so not full, but understand that reservations well in advance are needed for high season. As others mentioned, check current conditions in Sequoia park, as some roads and facilities may be closed or limited for maintenance, weather, etc. Decent restaurant within walking distance. - Fluffy_driver

Nice campground with a great pool located next too a river and far enough from the highway. Restrooms and toilets could do with a renovation. No wifi available and unfortunately during our stay there was a breakdown of the water supply but we received a refund for this and they were doing everything possible to solve it as soon as possible. If you are planning to visit Sequoia national park please check precisely if you can enter through the entrance close to the campground. We found out when arriving there that we had to use the other entrance which was a 3 hour drive. - Han the man

ON THE PLUS SIDE: staff helpful upon entry, clean, the Kaweah River ON THE NEGATIVE SIDE: tight spaces, very noisy (loud music) in the evening and at the river and the staff didn't intervene until "quiet time" at 10: PM, no Wi-Fi, WAY OVER-PRICED. This was the most expensive RV park we've ever stayed atand definitely not worth it. WOULD NOT RETURN. - Rob Denholtz

We stayed here for 15 nights to explore Sequoia NP, Kings Canyon NP, and the surrounding area. Check in was easy and the staff is friendly and helpful. This place is likely quite beautiful in the spring and early summer when the river is running with snow melt, and the grass and vegetation on the mountains is green. In conjunction with the time of year, and an on-going drought, there is little green to see. Our site was a combination of dust and crushed rock. Entry and interior roads are in really bad shape. Two miles an hour in your tow vehicle is max, and a really slow crawl for the coach or, even with air ride, it will be really bad. This is a great gateway to Sequoia and Kings Canyon. It's 7 miles to the entrance gate, and then another 17 miles to the Giant Forest and General Sherman. There is a group of permanent sites on the north side of the park, and they were not obtrusive. The river was across the interior road from our site, and it runs throughout the park. It was a small trickle at this time of year. We didn't visit the swimming hole. We would stay here again, when the drought is over, and the dust is gone, or in the spring when hopefully, it will be as it was envisioned. It should be mentioned, as far as I could tell, there are only 10 sites in the non-permanent area that have 50 amp electric. 4 are along the river, and 6 are in the row we were in. We could not get satellite at our site. We hooked up to the cable provided, but it was only 12 channels, and all SD. The campground WiFi was spotty, and so was Verizon hotspot. - therealSimpsons

As said, a rustic and dusty CG. Swimming was possible by using the river's swimming hole. Our site was pea gravel and tracked into the camper. Roads are broken asphalt and need repair. Site was level enough for us. Showers cost .25 for two minutes and a 2 minute minimum. Our power pedestal for some reason reversed polarity in the middle of the day and when we returned found no power. There is not an onsite maintenance person, so I had to call the off-site person. After 1.5 hours, he found a work-around and got us power. Trash was left from the previous camper, which we cleaned up. The trailer in the adjacent site was not parked properly which prevented us from using the fire ring. Never saw staff patrolling the CG for violations like this. Not really happy with the way of the different pricing structure, FHP, partial HP and no HP. We only had water and 30 amp service, no cable or sewer. This worked while were visiting family in Sequoia NP but would not stay here again. - SD75mac

This is a rustic campground, with sites very close together. We were reserved for a full hook up site, but couldn't use the sewer hook up due to previous flooding and a high water table. All the sites in our area were by the river, and were also affected. When needed, the employees did come around and empty black tanks with a mobile 300 gallon tank for that purpose. We had a picnic table and a fire pit, although the fire pit was very close to the road and front of our motorhome. Fairly close to Sequoia National Park, so it was easy to go to and from there on a daily basis. The concrete "patio" was cracked and uneven. More maintenance and upkeep is needed in this park, but it was sufficient for us. Mostly quiet at night, although on the weekend there were partiers who cut through our site talking loudly, as if it were 3:00 p.m and not 3:00 a.m. Wifi was okay, and cable TV was included but didn't work for the majority of our time there. It came on the night before we were leaving. - Lavendergrey

This place had the tightest spots of any we've been to. I had to move the rig 4 different times (35' 5th wheel) because either the cable wouldn't stretch or the sewer wouldn't connect or the fence was too close or the tree blocked the door from opening. It took 4x as long to set up as normal. It was quiet and conveniently located near Sequoia National Park. It was a bit more expensive than I would have expected for such a place. The fence behind us was infested with millions of ants. We couldn't use the fire pit because we had to park almost on top of it in order to connect everything. - Anthony D

Gravel park roads were a bit narrow making entry into the sites challenging for some. Our grassy, back-in site just big enough for our 37' MH and towed car. Water and electricity were convenient, but sewer was fairly deep in the site making it quite a stretch from our mid-coach utilities bay. We were able to connect to the WiFi, but not get any Internet service. We also were not able to connect to cell service with our Verizon phones. We did not use the bathroom or laundry. We thought price was average for the amenities provided. - DaveInOhio

The host was kind. This property is very tight on space. Not very easy to pull your rig and and out. They have a great area for tent or dry camping. More permanent residents than I usually see. - R Chandler 1187
